Mass Grave of Christians Killed by Islamic State Found in Libya

Misrata, Libya, Dec 28, 2018 / 01:48 pm (CNA).- A mass grave of 34 Ethiopian Christians executed by the so-called Islamic State group in 2015 has reportedly been unearthed in Libya.

The bodies have been exhumed and will be eventually repatriated to Ethiopia, the Libyan interior ministry says.

Libyan government authorities found the mass grave Dec. 23 after obtaining information from arrested Islamic State members. The grave appears to be located on a farm near the coastal city of Sirte, 170 miles southeast of Misrata.

Islamic State gained control of Sirte in 2015, but United Nations-backed forces regained control of the city in December 2016 after months of deadly fighting.

According to the Libyan Express newspaper, a propaganda video posted to social media in April 2015 appeared to show the Islamic State members shooting and beheading the Ethiopian Christians, who were all wearing orange jumpsuits, on a beach. The Christians were in Libya to seek work as migrant workers, according to International Christian Concern.

The 2015 incident happened just months after Islamic State members executed a group of nearly two dozen Coptic Christians; a mass grave containing their bodies was found last October.

Victims of Obama’s Arab Spring. He never lifted a finger to help persecuted Christians, but he bent over backwards for radical Muslims all over the Middle East.

The Fraud detests anything having to do with Christ.

This was, to the leftists’ god, another “teachable moment”.

The Fraud smiles and congratulates himself upon seeing news like this.

The Butcher of Benghazi, Hillary Clinton should have been turned over to Libyan authorities, if that evil administration had left any, for multiple acts of war crimes. HEY HILL, what happened to the Gold deposits that were being held to back up the Libyan currency?

They came, they saw, they reduced the most westernized Arab nation in the world to smoking ruins and left it to become the largest jihadi training camp in the world.

ISIS were simply a strategic tool, created by the Saudis and supported by the CIA, Obama, McCain and other deep-states, to destabilize Syria.

The morning after the 9/11 attack in Benghazi, baraq left for Vegas for another fundraiser.

Guess he couldn’t be bothered.
